3 ivory traffickers were arrested with 35 kg ivory. They concealed the 10 tusks, representing 5 killed elephants, in a cooling container, which they brought to a hotel, where they intended to sell the ivory. They are well situated notorious traffickers, one of them a repeat offender arrested before for trafficking ammunition to elephant poachers. 2 of them pretend being fishermen, but it was only a cover for their illegal business, they used the fisherman boat to transport ivory. The third one, a taxi driver, was released after the arrest but thanks to PALF legal team and Perrine fighting these attempts he was arrested again. All 3 are behind bars, waiting for a trial.
